Abstract excerpt
Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD) is a multifactorial disorder resulting from numerous gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), a key enzyme in reverse cholesterol transport and the metabolism of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), is thought to be a candidate gene related to dyslipidemia and CAD. Variations in the LCAT gene were investigated in 190 CAD...
